	Frederic Church
		"Frederic Edwin Church, born in Hartford, Connecticut, was the son of a wealthy man whose considerable assets provided the youth with the means to develop his early interest in art.
		Church's happiness was blasted in March of 1865, when his son and his daughter died of diphtheria, but with the birth of Frederic junior in 1866, Church and his wife began a new family that was eventually to number four children.
		Church, however, began to devote his creative energies increasingly to gentleman farming and to the designing and redesigning of Olana, his hilltop fantasy of a "Persian" villa at Hudson, New York, a seemingly endless undertaking begun in 1869 in consultation with the architect Calvert Vaux.

	FREDERIC EDWIN CHURCH 1826

		Church never toys with scale, but again he alters scenes, and the show makes even clearer why he often seeks a vantage point where no one could really stand.
		In Church's art, a deeply red sun or icy mountain loom up, apart from the foreground but pressed down by the weight and color of clouds or the ash spewed from a volcano.
		Church tempts one to confuse it all with a Modernist approach to painting in series, starting with those haystacks and cathedrals by Claude Monet.

		Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900) is the most grandiloquent and vivid American landscape painter whose greatest works inspired awe about natural wonders and their splendor and who carried forward the "manifest destiny" of a wilderness that nurtured his teacher, Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School of painting.
		A few of Church’s early landscapes follow closely in the typical Hudson River School style established by Cole: horizontal pastoral scenes that accurately depict real sites at their best, which is to say, in marvelous light and only rarely encumbered with human intrusion: pure, gentle wilderness of memorable and tranquil beauty.
		Church also painted many small charming views of the Hudson River and the Catskills from his Olana, his home in upstate New York that has many of his best works such as his scene of Petra and is open to the public as a museum.
